K2
"K2" by Patrick Meyers
December 7 & 8, 2007 - 7:30 p.m.
Parker Auditorium
A drama of adventure and survival, directed by senior theatre major Julie Mauro. This thrilling play uses mountain climbing as a metaphor to explore the friendship between two climbers — Taylor, who sees personal gratification as the purpose of life, and Harold, whose deepest satisfaction is his selfless love for his wife and young son. On an icy ledge on K2, the world's second highest mountain, Taylor and Harold are stranded at 27,000 feet where Harold has suffered a broken leg. When the desperation of their situation can no longer be denied, these two close friends, as different as night and day, must together make a life-and-death decision.
